I was at the game, defense looked good but we have to remember we were facing a 3rd string rookie after facing a inept Freeman last week.

Raiders actually seem to be a competitive team this year, and we are terrible out of byes, that game can tell us a lot.

Also love the DT depth this year, just love it. Shutting down rushers left and right. Also obviously I can't tell too much from where I was sitting (endzone seats, which were amazing by the way) but JPP's name seemed like it was being called a lot.

wtf special teams, Weatherford finally has some decent punts and then we almost cough up the game from another miscue. So ridiculous.

I missed all the games yesterday, I didn't get a chance to see RG3. Is it progression reading/defense reading/ protection adjustments etc that's the problem for RG3 or just inaccuracy?

Bc I think accuracy will come with more confidence in his health.

I didn't think he he was accurate when he was healthy last year. He bounces so many balls. Which is better than missing high because bouncing balls can't result in a pick, but still.

It's hard to tell on TV. He holds onto the ball way too long. And when he isn't healthy he doesn't have as much elusiveness. And he got hurt again although I don't think it was serious. Hard to tell if he came out for injury, performance, or a little of both.

When they have to come from behind and he has to become a pure passer, I just don't think they can win. The came was close for a while, but when the lead grew for the Broncos it just kept on growing because he was awful. But the Broncos are a great second half team.

Our OL wasn't much good but we shortened our drops and routes to hide them a lot, and they did fine in the running game. If Gilbride keeps this up our oL may just build some chemistry and not suck completely. Cordle's looking like he could be solid.

I'm telling ya, we should make a strong push for Brandon Albert in the offseason. Put Albert at LT, move Beatty to RT, Pugh to LG, if Cordle continues to develop keep him at Center and draft a RG sometime in the draft and we're golden along the OL.

Then draft a mid round RB to compete with Wilson, Brown and Cox and our offense will be back to normal.

On defense if we can draft a CB, re-sign Beason, draft an OLB, and a pass rusher, we'll be back.

I'm crossing my fingers with TT. It sounds like he had a great game and looks great so far. I really hope he can make the comback. That would be SO huge for us if he could.

Is Eli trigger shy though? Why 5 field goals? Is he hesitating with his reads and his keys?

No turnovers are fine but if it's at the expense of Eli waiting for guys to make their breaks before he releases the ball then that's a problem too.

I would be too if the fools I am throwing stop on routes, and run the wrong adjustments. Notice RR wasn't fed as much. Stick to Cruz, Myers, and Nicks. We implemented a dink and dunk passing game which I love. A lot more throws to Fbs and Rbs. Finally, someone adjusted. No more screw it, I am going deep, mentality.

But now defenses will adjust. So then we have to counter adjust. You know how it is, football is a game of adjustments.

Teams will play coverages to counter the short passing game. That's when we have to use more deep routes again and trust our players to run it properly and the protections to hold up.

We can't dink and dunk forever. It's only a bandaid solution.

I want to see more pistol, more crossing routes, more rub routes, more free release formations, more bunch formations, more creativity. Our scheme is so dull and dated.
